Over the past one year, there has been immense speculation over the films Shahrukh Khan will do, after he isdone with Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express and Farah Khan’s Happy New Year. Most of the big name directors have been reported to have scripts ready for a film with SRK, but how much of the reportage holds true in actual terms is not very clear.
Let’s discuss the probability of each of those individual films happening.
A for Apple, B for Billi, C for Cutta: SRK was quoted as having said in an interview that he will start this film once he finishes Happy New Year. But talk about this film from his inner circle has gone low, and there are murmurs he may end up only producing this film. For starters, ABC is a slice-of-life film based in Delhi about a commoner who struggles to cope up because of his inability to master the Queen’s language.
R. Balki’s film: Amitabh Bachchan has been asked about this collaboration with R. Balki and Shahrukh on Twitter many times over the past few months and he has replied back more than once saying that he hopes this film materializes. A film bringing together the Shehenshah and the King Khan handled by a able director will be a feast for Hindi film viewers, if it happens.
Rahul Dholakia’s film, produced by Farhan-Ritesh’s Excel Entertainment: Not much is known about the film except for the fact that it is about a small-time Gujarati smuggler who smuggles alcohol into the alcohol-free state and becomes a big Don. The film maybe officially announced before Chennai Express releases. However, it’s controversial nature may keep SRK from going through with it.
Anurag Kashyap’s film: There was chatter in the news until recently that SRK is really looking forward to work with Anurag Kashyap and had asked him to write a script for him. Insiders close to the director say that Anurag will start working on the “highly commercial” film once he finishes Bombay Velvet, and if the script gets SRK’s nod, they start filming sometime in 2015.
Other rumours: SRK has been keen to work with Anurag Basu for a long time and there have been many interactions between the two regarding doing a film together. Their collaboration will happen at some point of time in the future and it is too early to divulge the specifics.
AR Murugadoss has gone to SRK with every Hindi script he has written post the release of Ghajini, but the actor has refused them all stating that he doesn’t want to be a part of a Southern remake. He has apparently asked Murugadoss to come up with an original Hindi script for him.
Ashutosh Gowariker has been lying low since the release of his last film ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se” and is planning to come back with a bang with Swades 2. The script is almost finished and it deals with the next chapter in Mohan Bhargav’s life and how he deals with a few more of rural India’s problems.
Other than all the above mentioned projects, films with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Prabhu Deva, and biopics of Dhyanchand and Kasabha Jadav have made gossip columns. But most of these films seem farfetched at this point with Shahrukh already having so much on his plate.
Eitherway, the next phase of SRK’s career starts now and the films he chooses will be looked at closely by everyone who is associated with Hindi cinema.
Tell us which films you want Shah Rukh Khan to do in the comments section below. Where do you think this phase of SRK’s career will lead him to? Get involved.
PICK 3 from the list below.
There is a famous saying ‘Billi ke khwab (sapno) mein chhechray (boneless raw meat)’ and it perfectly suits srk and his fans. Better stick to Dharma (Karan) and Yash Raj (Aditya) rather experimenting.
The actor who cannot give a Superhit with his favourite genre (or favourite director) wants to experiment with genres and directors. ROFL !!!! Lol !!!!!! Joke of the year.
@Samar THUPPAKKI REMAKE was first offered to SRK.
What a great line up..
I heard that Rakesh Roshan Making a script for Srk and Hrithik
also Farhan Akhtar is working on the script of Don 3….
@Xzone
Just loved your comment bro.It was too awesome & the truth.I will always support you & your comments.Just keep commenting on @indicine pages
Dhanchand biopic will be great like CDI 2
Samar – @indicine where is the “retirement” option??
hahahaha……..
@aki…..i don’t knw abt sallu’s lined up films..nor i m interested in that….bt have a look wid ur open eyes that a number of grt directors r waiting for srk….imagine when he ll work wid potential directors like anurag basu, anurag kashyap and r. Balki, then wat will be the impact…so better just wait nd watch…it’s too hurry for u to getting insecure…:P
DANISH, who told u srk was the first choice for Thuppakki?
SRK was never offered Thuppakki remake, Akshay was the first and only choice.
there is no chance for ce to become blockbuster.
if it becomes a blockbuster like miracle.srk fans will say railway department is getting profits only because of srk.because srk promoted trains in his movies like dilse,ddlj and now.ce.
and without srk railway department is nothing.media will also support them.
indicine will publish articles about usage of trains before chennai express and after chennai express.
@DANISH got a fitting reply from indicine. He is someone who always makes assumptions favouring srk without any proof or source.
Every elder person look for various opportunities to make a fast buck near his retirement days. Srk is thinking on same lines. keep it up!!!!!
@DANISH i hope indicine has cleared all your doubts.
@hrithiklover & @xzone:
FYI … from a srk fan called @ DANISH on Bang Bang page.
DANISH: (July 1, 2013 at 5:36 pm)
Another garbage type film by hollywood remaker
Hrithik. Definitely another KITES or GUZAARISH.
@xzone’s post about SRK-YRF-Dharma simply Rocked….its simple…..the best always want to work with the best……
@danish…thanxx bro…ur appreciation means a lot to us….thanx once again…
@shekhar suman…..my second comment, which is an analysis of srk’s career with dharma and yrf, is applicable for u as well…first go through it , then comment…..now, as u said he only gave superhits wid yrf/dharma….then my ques is, haven’t u seen the following movies and their directors….:
baazigar – abbas mustan
karan arjun – rakesh roshan
Pardes – subhas ghai
devdas – sanjay leeela bhansali
main hoon na- faraha khan
don – farhan akhtar
om shanti om – faraha khan
ra-one – anubhav sinha
don2 – farhan akhtar
these moves r also hits/ superhits, and directed by different directors and produced by different banners….it seems u only think abt those movies , which srk did wid yrf and dharma…if u ll have a look on these movies, then i think u ll get over ur illusion….so if u have a proper reply with facts , then come again…otherwise u r free to continue ur non-sense chattering…but let me remind u that we call this chattering as “barking” in english…:P
@xzone do u think that idiots dont know if SRK is the 1 who made yrf and darma Bigger or darma and yrf who are the 1c that made SRK
He knows every thing but they love to fool themselves and to look like an idiots
yrf worked with another stars non of them did what sharukh did , and he is the 1 who made dharma biger .
if we took the other side then shah was a superstar before working with karan and he is the reason why karan is so big director now,
karan started his 1st film kkhh with srk as the lead and kkhh became ATBB
no one did know who is karan at that time to come and watch his movie, he was a new but they came 4 srk
also aditya ddlj was his first film , and that means he also was unkown director before srk so also only idiots will say that he and karan made srk
they started with him and he gave the both ATBB as their first film
and another 4 bb overseas to karan (5 out of 5 bb)
His film no 6 Soty wasnt bb overseas and only hit in india
1 attbb and 2 bb inside and outside india to aditya (3 out of 3 bb)
who did that to a new director other than srk?
to work with a new director for the 1st time and that movie became ATBB then all their movies together became BB
thats why they always work with him and with no other khan ,those idiots should tell us why they didnt work with other big names till now, did srk told them to work only with him :D?!
to them there is only 1 king SRK and they have him so why they will need others ?!
Even yash raj made only 6 big movies Not bb out of 18 before srk And 4 big out of 4 after srk – 3 of them bb overseas where srk was the lead only darr wasnt bb cuz srk wasnt d lead :D,
after darr he only direct srk , ask those idiots why ? there was aamir and salman why he only direct srk?
or let the idiots bark they always say d same things like parrots :D
I want to see don 3
@boss i told u before dont start the war , srk fans are not idiots like other stars fans yes we have 1 or 2 innocent fans but others have only 1 or 2 smart fans :D so pick a side and stay quiet :D
Karan johar,rahul dholakia,r balki,sanjay bhansali…..
@xzone except oso srk not having any blockbuster other than dharma and yrf and all other movies you mentioned were hits not superhits so srk never made yrf big yaa he made dharma production big.and i m not interesting in any srk movies but just seen the article that whether raju hirani offered any script to srk and happy by seeing tht he didn’t, and i m grateful to srk as he not accept munnabhai and 3 idiots if that so than those could never became what did they. Ab koi b movie kare srk beda gark to ho chuka uska.
@hritik…dude…i said that there r some exceptions….so take that case as exception…if u remember, then there is a hritik fan named as “velocity”…he is an srk hater…but at a generalized sacale…i have posted that comment….
@rahul….yup bro…but this simple thing is not entering into their minds that a best always love to work wid a best…..thats y , after directing srk in darr, yash ji never worked wid any other actor…bcoz he found something spcl in srk..which made him to stick wid srk…
@gewone…u r correct bro….i want to ask a simple question to all, who thinks yrf and Kjo made srk…..it’s srk, who worked wid Kjo in his debut film to establish him a director….bcoz Kjo was nthng before “kkhh”….srk cud have denied to work wid a debut director…bcoz he was turned into a superstar by that time….after mega success of “ddlj”…but he still worked wid him and that was the reason, why Kjo established himself in industry so strongly…..after that, he launched farah as a director…before mhn , who was faraha??? a simple coriographer….but now , she is a successful director…and all knw the fate of “tees maar khan”, when faraha dared to worked without srk…now, i want to make an correction bro…”soty” was a semi-hit in india, bcoz it’s budget was 46 cr….so u can see the fate of Kjo as well, when he came without srk, results a semi-hit muvi…so directors r getting benefit frm srk and vice-versa is not true…
by the way….”srk fans are not idiots like other stars fans yes we have 1 or 2 innocent fans but others have only 1 or 2 smart fans”…this line was hilarious bro….loved it…:D:D
@aks……don’t be hurry to conclude anything…..if after giving 4 consecutive 200cr movies, u r saying that “srk ka beda gark ho chuka hai”…then i think u r making fool of urself….so better wait and watch….time will tell, who ll loose and who ll gain….but i m damn sure that if srk will work wid above mentioned directors, then he ll achieve some another milestones…..just wait for these releases…
@sachin11 loved the ‘paa 2’ sequel idea…!
Absolutely hilarious and the role would suit Srk…!
@sachin11 Plus Srk wouldnt need much make up and his experience of lying around idle in bed all day long whilst shooting is huge as thats all King did in JTHJ for 2 hrs when he lost 10 yrs of memory and aged an incredible 20 yrs in the process…! King in ‘Paa 2’ will rock. ;-)
@xzone What more boring essay type ‘answers from you…!’ But seriously you write these long essays and give ‘wrong/ baseless/ fictional’ answers as usual but dont you know what is the question being asked of you or dont you just care as you feel writing any old gibberish will give you atleast some marks or in this case afew likes from your fellow buddies…? :-P
@xzone Same old same old just a new day
@samar lol- too funny.
I guess the ‘retirement’ option was removed last minute because Indicine did not want a riot on their hands…! ;-)
@hrithik Lol well noticed and to be frank that dinesshh is just a troll.
@gewone Nice to see you guys admitting “to having 1 or 2 idiot fans” but what I like to know who is going to be brave enough to take second spot because quite clearly and rightly so ‘xzone’ takes Number 1 spot so how will the rest of you decide whos going to be Number 2….!
Maybe a poll where non srkians can vote…?
Indicine can such a poll be created here…?
Thanks
